Folks,
OK, I've solicited Sun, Apple, Unisys and OmniTI for quotes for the 8.2
release. We may end up with Sun simply becuase I can reach an executive
at Sun and get a quote out of them, whereas both Unisys and Apple have
been fence-sitting about any public support for us.
Given Pervasive's shutdown, I think it's essential that we get the quote of
a Fortune 500 company on the release to show that we're still relevant.
So I don't think a quote from a startup or small consulting company is
equivalent.
If we do end up with Sun as the "suit" quote, then I'd like to have a
backup for OmniTi as the "8.2 features" quote, since OmniTi is a big
Solaris vendor and we don't want the release All About Sun. Can anoyone
come up with another medium-to-high-profile PostgreSQL user who can be
enthusiastic about some/all 8.2 features? Maybe Greenplum has someone?
